Alex Matthews, Jess Breach, Kelsey Clifford and Mo Hunt in top form ahead of Sunday's PWR Final

And then there were two... After 18 rounds of white-hot Premiership Women's Rugby and two semi-finals we finally have our PWR Finalists in the shape of Gloucester-Hartpury and Saracens.

The Circus beat Bristol Bears in the semi-final 36-20 with their superstars hitting knockout form against the Bears and repeating their victory in last year's Final.

The boffins at Oval Insights have forensically studied the two semi-finals and the 18 rounds before and to read their statistical report click here.

In their in-depth report you will see two particularly eye-catching performances from The Circus. Alex Matthews made more dominant collisions than any other player in the Semi-Finals, a total of nine. She crossed the gainline with 90% of her carries and made 21 tackles.

When Gloucester-Hartpury play well you can usually find Mo Hunt at the centre of the action and it was the same in the semi-final  as Hunt was the only player who assisted three tries at the weekend; she has assisted ten tries in her last five appearances and scored three.

In the other semi-final, a London derby the rugby world was delighted to see Jess Breach back on the field. Breach didn't disappoint in the 32-24 win over Harlequins in their semi-final making a round-high 146 metres, beating nine defenders, making three clean breaks, and scoring a try.

Kelsey Clifford will be one to watch in the Final as she made more post-contact metres than any other player in the Semi-Finals, a total of 30. She also made 19 tackles and won a turnover.

In defeat at the Stonex Jade Konkel-Roberts (Harlequins) was involved more than any other player at that weekend: she contributed a total of 67 actions. No player carried (22) or tackled (25) as much as her.
